Shuttlecock XXI: Laz is Bigger Than Anyone in His Way

[kabigon]

Is there a JT30 DVD in the works?!

No, just Adam's super deluxe collectable guitar picks

 

[Mack_Again]

Adam’s picks are actually same as Edge’s

From the breakfast bar
Comes a donut hole
You had two sticks of butter
So you could butter your roll
I had biscuits and gravy
That I whipped up myself
And a fresh stack of pancakes
From the box on the shelf


You speak of nooks and crannies
And I need a plate of pastries
I wouldn't eat if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your bagel

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Don’t look at U2’s Instagram if you want to avoid spoilers. It looks like last night they played

Spoiler

Red Flag Day

I hope the 1st set stays as it is - obviously not counting any swapping they may do over multiple nights. Now that SFS is presumably out of the mix, it flows better.

They need to mix it up a bit in the 2nd half, though...without touching Acrobat.

Red Flag Day

They already played it in San Jose.

I'm trying to remember the Shuttlecock version of this, because I have a feeling it was particularly dirty.

I had a vision for a nookie on the cookie version but thought better of it.

 

[lazarus]

Well, sure sucks for those people who went to Vegas #2.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Counterpoint: they're in Vegas, where the only way to have a shitty time is to, I dunno, sit around all day in the sun not doing anything to see the same show you've already seen 4 times.

Counter-counterpoint: man sucks for a lot of people at Vegas2

 

[Axver]

Seriously, what the fuck was that. How are U2 at the point that "variation" is "we're gonna move one song two setlist spots later, and drop another one with no replacement".

 

[lazarus]

I'll reiterate that I'm so glad I made the decision to skip this tour and get my membership fee back from that garbage fanclub/website.

 

[bono_man2002]

Well, sure sucks for those people who went to Vegas #2.

Its ok. I’m sure Magnificent will show up eventually.

 

[LemonMelon]

Its ok. I’m sure Magnificent will show up eventually.

Ah come on, man. Spoilers.

I was under the impression that was the amazing song everyone was talking about

 

[Axver]

Ah come on, man. Spoilers.

Nah that's Boots.

 

[cobl04]

All we wanted was JT30, the one album we have actually listened to.

Fucking thank you.

I'll reiterate that I'm so glad I made the decision to skip this tour and get my membership fee back from that garbage fanclub/website.

You're unusually sour about U2 regarding this tour.

 

[Hewson]

Its ok. I’m sure Magnificent will show up eventually.

In Philly.

 

[cobl04]

Replacing The Good Song on the one night of two Peef goes.

 

[Hewson]

Replacing The Good Song on the one night of two Peef goes.

Absolutely.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Somebody's being a Gloomy Gus.

 

[lazarus]

Well, my three least favorite songs on the album are locks for the rest of the tour, and the songs that have been promoted the most. That leaves 11 new tracks that I really like or love, and as with SOI, most of my favorites aren't seeing the light of day (or inconsistently played).

So this tour really only has one curveball I'm excited about, and the regurgitation of part of I&E even in cities where they just did it 3 years ago isn't very appealing to me. I'm not going to have FOMO over missing like 4 tracks I really want to hear that I haven't seen before.

So yeah, I'm down on this tour. But I care more about the quality of the albums, so whatever, I'll live. Better than being someone who doesn't like their recent music but feels compelled to see them anyway for just a handful of treats.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

My friend and I went, and like Headache says, it’s always enjoyable to run around Vegas. As for the show...

Spoiler

It was fine. I love Iris, and I like the first two tracks. Acrobat was badass. My friend (casual fan) and I were super disappointed not to get Red Flag Day, so we just sang it to ourselves in line for a hoodie after the show. We’re discussing it here in the hotel. No regerts, but a little more variety would have been welcome.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The only things in Vegas that can ruin your good time are waiting in line for 10 hours to get 2 feet closer than the guy who walks in 10 minutes before show time, and syphilis.

 

[intedomine]

I don't need to worry about skipping a tour, because the tour usually skips me [emoji47]

 

[PhilsFan]

Replacing The Good Song on the one night of two Peef goes.

I already have a ticket for night two, and I'm very likely getting one for the first night as well just to avoid this. Also because I only live two miles from where they are playing and it seems silly not to go to both with the savings on transportation costs.

 

[Hewson]

So Magnificent will exceed its one appearance in 2015 with a blazing two night showcase in the City of Brotherly Love.

 

[Axver]

I absolutely cannot wait, at the Philly shows, for

Spoiler

Bono to transform into Macphisto, give his usual speech, and end it with:

Don't believe what you hear, don't believe what you see
Because if you close your eyes, you can feel...
That ONLY LOVE! ONLY LOVE! COULD LEAVE SUCH A MARK!

 

[Hewson]

MacPhisto was born...to...sing for you!!!!!!

 

[lazarus]

Magnifisto!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

You and I will MacPhisti..

Woah oh oh

Is there a dermatoooooologist?
